Скачать или смотреть Storm Tracker Weather Alert: Winter storm brings threat of flooding to Western Oregon, SW Washington

With heavy rain in the forecast through Wednesday, parts of Western Oregon and Southwest Washington are facing the threat of flooding.

The winter storm prompted several flood warnings and watches from the National Weather Service, including along the coast and local waterways that are prone to flooding.

Flooding could hit rivers, creeks, and other waterways that drain from the Coast Range, Willapa Hills, and Cascades.

Clackamas County officials issued a warning of their own Monday night, asking people to prepare for potential flooding in the county’s low-lying areas. That included Johnson Creek, which is expected to reach flood stage early Tuesday morning.
